Breathing trainer for lung function after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a breathing trainer twice a day can improve your lung function and help your body regulate important functions like blood pressure. It is for men who have had a stroke with one-sided weakness, are aged 55 to 65, and have some other health characteristics.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke with weakness on one side of your body (hemiplegia) for at least 6 months.
- You are a man between 55 and 65 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 29.9 and 34.9 (that is, you are in the overweight to obese range).
- You have not previously done any specific breathing muscle exercises.
- You experience a blood pressure drop when you stand up (orthostatic hypotension).
- You must not have conditions like asthma, heart problems, or a pacemaker, and you must not have had lung surgery or be on long-term oxygen.

This trial tests whether a supervised walking and exercise program can improve your heart and lung fitness and overall quality of life after a stroke. It is designed for people who are still affected by weakness on one side but can walk on their own.
This trial tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe in can help improve your walking after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some trouble walking.
This trial tests whether a simple breathing exercise device can help people recovering from stroke. You may benefit if you had a stroke up to 12 months ago and can walk a short distance on your own.
This trial tests a breathing exercise program to improve breathing, balance, and overall quality of life in stroke survivors. It may help you recover better by strengthening your breathing muscles and improving your balance.
This study tests a program combining physical exercises with breathing muscle training for people who had a stroke 3 to 6 months ago. The goal is to see if this combination improves recovery and daily function.
This study tests how breathing and trunk muscle exercises work when done on different surfaces (stable vs. unstable) in people recovering from a stroke. It aims to see if these exercises can help improve breathing and core strength during recovery.
